D'Addario 2AN7-03 Acrylux Nitra Mandolin Pick, 1.5MM, 3-Pack

Not suitable for Mandolin

I am enjoying using these picks, they make playing my mandolin a bit easier. They are a nice weight and size for playing.

As intermediate mandolin player, I have tried many picks to find out what works and what doesnt. I have sampled everything I could get my hands on and they are all ok but the Acrylux Nitra 1.5 mm grey coloured pick is my favorite. I think hand size and finger thickness are important to mention here since my hands are construction worker size and the pick fits my thumb and forefinger perfectly. Its about 2mm bigger on the perimeter than a golden gate, or blue chip mando pick, which in my case makes a difference , and in my opinion an important consideration that never gets discussed anywhere. If you have small hands you have to find out what works for you. Too bad you cant find somewhere that sells a sample pack of every mando pick available and just get this process over with. The acrylux nitra mandolin pick 2AN7-03 1.5mm, is a great pick, and its smooth, quiet, easy to hold and in my opinion equal to or better than anything I have in my pick collection. Its tone is great, and produces clean harmonic tones ( very important to my ears, anyway) and slightly different tone than the red coloured Acrylux Reso 1.5 Mandolin pick which is my #2 choice. All picks influence the tone, your hand is part of the equation also so its got to be comfortable and only you will know what works. I have Wegen , Golden Gate, Blue chip mandolin picks and my honest personal favourite is the grey coloured Acrylux Nitra 1.5 mandolin pick!

ottimi per mandolino.

Great picks for mandolin playing. The shape is perfect, with a slightly rounded point which can create a great tone when playing. Good for tremolo playing too. Recommended.

I have been using regular guitar picks while learning how to play my Recording King RAM-3-BK "Dirty 30" $40 Pawnshop find. After messing around with this pick I can feel the difference between it and the standard guitar picks I have been using. It has a good thickness to it. As a beginner I seem to feel a softness around the edges but a firm meaty middle. I think this mandolin pick will be an advantage over the standard guitar picks I have been using. This is a a great pick and I highly recommend it.
